Rebuilt after the 1755 earthquake, this military construction continued to be used until the end of the 19th century, when it was sold at public auction, and acquired by the poet Coelho Carvalho who transformed it into a private residence. The fort is well maintained and in addition to a wall that connects Angrinha beach to Praia Grande, it also has several guardhouses and a garden.

Recenzije
And then you make the bend in the river and Silves appears with a breathtaking view of the castle and church, then it disappears on the next bend, to pop up again with a different perspective at the next bend. The town of Silves is a delight to explore with cute shops, fabulous restaurants, and bakeries (try the bolo de laranga -- orange cake, it is AMAZING!). The 1.5 hours in Silves isn't enough time to really explore, so plan to go another day and spend hours wandering around.
A huge thank yo to Ricardo for making our afternoon so relaxing and informative. He is a gem!
Silves is nice to visit, even at a rainy day:)
Definitely recomended.
